Features & Capabilities

Nautical Charts — OsmAnd is a free plugin for the OsmAnd Maps & Navigation app providing detailed offline nautical charts. These charts display oceans, seas, coastal areas, and rivers with valuable information such as sailing routes, navigation lights, restricted zones, depth contours, and depth points.

Ideal for recreational sailors and sea travelers, this extension relies on community-updated data from the OpenSeaMap project, enabling users to contribute for better accuracy. While not a replacement for official marine charts, it serves as an essential offline reference tool for orientation and route planning. Users are advised to download the nautical basemap for optimal map visibility and can customize map styles via the OsmAnd app settings.
